Viewing Entire Contents Of A Text Field

Oct 25, 2004

I am trying to view the contents of a text field in a form. The field can only be a limited size in the form, but I want to store a lot of text in the field and have it visible without having to enter the field and use the arrow keys to view the contents. Is it possible to programme a function that shows the contents of a field when I roll the mouse over it or something like that? The "Control Tip Text" is the principal of what I am trying to do except this gives a fixed value. When used in web page development I think this function is refered to as "Alt tag"

Viewing Contents Of Two Tables

Aug 27, 2007

Greetings to All,

I have one table (tblLink) that resides on an SQL Server quite a distance from me. I have another table (tblLink_r) that resides in a local .mdb file. The tables are identical except for the data they contain and where they are located. Only one index (LinkIdx=autonumber) exists. I am making sure there are no duplicate indicies in the LinkIdx fields because I started the LinkIdx field in tblLink_r at 2100000000.

When I open tblLink (remote), I can scroll to the end of the 21,000 records relatively quickly - read: little latency. Queries performed on this table similarly show little latency.

When I open tblLink_r, I also have little latency. This table has 100 records.

I need a single object which contains the contents of tblLink and tblLink_r. I have tried a UNION ALL, but this query takes upwards of 4 minutes to complete which I can't understand since either of the constituent tables only take ~.5 seconds to call up.

I am hoping someone can provide a way to speed up the UNION ALL query or provide an alternate means to combine the contents of these tables.

Queries :: Displaying Entire Contents Of Search Results?

Dec 8, 2013

I'm trying to make a search form that makes use of queries that search a table based on what fields I have. How would I go about having the query display all the fields for the record(s) that match the search criteria? This is for Access 2010.

As far as the query is set up, I have several fields with a search criteria, and the others are for displaying the relevant information about the results (since they're not search criteria, I used "Like '*'"). When I ran the query, it doesn't come up with anything - even if the record actually exists in the table with specified criteria.

Contents Of A Field Based On The Contents Of Another Field

Jul 14, 2006

Hi,
I'm making a form where the contents of a field is determined on the contents of another field in another form. I thought an IIF function would work, but when I tried it the contents says #NAME.

I put it in the control source.

IIF([Forms]![Frm_NewBusiness]![Page4]![Child51]="NTU",NewBusiness_Date_Issued="NTU",NewBusiness_Date_Issued)

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Ben

General :: Render Text Box Contents In Italics?

Jul 14, 2012

I've set the 'Font Italic' method to 'True' for my 'scientific_name' text box control in a datasheet form. It does not render in italics. I've gone so far as to create an On-Load sub with a single command:

Me.scientific_name.FontItalic = True

The control still does not render in italics.

Select Entire Field Automatically

Mar 14, 2006

Hi,
I want to have the entire field in a textbox selected, automatically, everytime the control is entered--- so the user can just begin typing and automatically type over the existing data in the textbox.

How do I do this?

I thought it would be as simple as adding something like the following to the textbox's on_enter event:

Sendkeys "doubleclick"


The textbox will always contain just a single "word", so this idea should work....but I can't find anything like a "doubleclick" that can be used with SendKeys.

THanks for any ideas.

General :: Geometric Mean - Summing Entire Field

Sep 1, 2013

Here is a link that explains a little bit about it: [URL] .....

However, I'm having a problem with summing an entire field. Access does not have a DProduct() function, so it makes the math of "taking the Nth root of a product of 'X' numbers" kind of impossible without writing a custom function.

Queries :: Querying Contents Of One Field Against Another Table / Field

Apr 26, 2013

I am trying to perform a search function query in access but am having trouble. I have two tables. One table has a column in which I need to search the contents of this field by referencing data in another field/table. I am able to write the query searching the data manually (not referencing the other table) but can't seem to get the query right when referencing the other table!

this query works =
SELECT *
FROM Sample_Data
WHERE (((Sample_Data.[Affected_Frequencies]) Like "*451.425*" Or (Sample_Data.[Affected_Frequencies]) Like "*451.400*"));

but, i put together a frequency table (Table name = Frequencies) and the column within that I am searching for is called Frequency. im trying to reference Frequencies.Frequency using a LIKE statement.

Reports :: Show Entire List Of Multi-value Field In Report?

Mar 9, 2013

I know that multivalue fields are not the best to use, but I have a simple database that they work fine in. My question is this: Is there a way to show the entire list of choices in the multivalue field on a report? Not just the ones selected, but all of them, whether checked or not? The multivalue field has a list of names and the user selects each name if they repond to a incident (fire, car accident, etc.). My report would show the entire list and count number of responses by each name during a date range. I want to show all of them on the report, with those not selected showing "0".

Viewing Field List In Access Reports

Oct 20, 2004

I have created a report in Access 2002, that I use to export to
Excel. My problem is the field names in the report are quite long
and some are very similar to each other. I can not find a way to
view a list of the field names for the report while in Desing view.

I have no real formatting on the report as I only use it for exporting, and
looking at the report itself in Access, all the field names are truncated

Any help on how to view which fields are in the report and how could
I easily add another field in the middle of it if needed.

Forms :: Adding Field To A Form Breaks Entire Database Record Source?

Sep 26, 2014

I am building a database where one Form displays records from 14 different tables. For some reason, when I recently try to add a field on to a form from a new table, the ENTIRE form loses the record source, and every single field that is already on the form gets that green dot in the corner with errors surrounding a record source that cannot be found. What am I doing wrong? Am I exceeding some limitations with forms?

Dynamic Field Contents

Sep 1, 2006

Is there a way to make the value of one field change dynamically based on the values in other fields on the form?

Here's the general idea. I have two tables.

RecordTable
--------------
SiteID, etc.

SiteTable
-------------
SiteID, SiteBlurb

I want have a form, where you can change the SiteID value in RecordTable, and have the SiteBlurb change (i.e. the form pulls the information from SiteTable) dynamically once you have entered the new value.

Nullifying A Field Contents?

Jun 18, 2015

is there an alternative to making a field blank, other than my old trusty <Me.Field1 =""> ... ?

(my use of the < and > are purely for demonstration purposes, and do NOT get used in code)

I'd like some fields to be native, virgin, blank, et cetera... I do find sometimes I have to overly complicate a VBA statement by putting.. <If IsNull(Me.Field1) or Me.Field1 = "" then> because I have made that field value = "" to blank it out.

Automatic Count Of Field Contents

Jan 11, 2007

My company requires a query to aid distribution, however I am experiencing some problems implementing the system.

We have purchased a large database of addresses and need to be able to query a town/street to find out how many houses are in that street.

I have the query and form set up to display the street/town and list of house numbers when searched for, however the houses are grouped by postcode rather than street, with multiple house numbers in the same field (see example).

Street
Main Avenue

POSTCODE
HG23 0DF

Houses
89;91;93

POSTCODE
HG23 1DF

Houses 95;97;98


----

Basically, I need a total of how many individual houses there are in a street, regardless of postcode. In this case, it should treat the ";"s as dividers and return the result of '6'. Or in some cases ignore the semicolons as some fields look like ";;;;;;;;13". It should then add both the total for one postcode to the other postcode to display a complete total of houses in one road.

Can anyone make any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Matt

How To Update A Field With Contents Of Two Other Fields

Jul 3, 2012

I'm an excel user and in using excel I can take two fields and combine their data in one field. I've got about 6 database files with anywhere form 1000 to 3000 records that have already been prepared and imported into access database files .mdb and I realize that the firstname lastname fields need to also be combined into a contact field with both names. In Excel it's easy in access I'm a little lost. I was looking to an update query however I can't find instructions on what I'm trying to do.
